Praise

A book that bridges the gap between the technology and its use in high-value marketing applications

“Many marketers hear that data mining is a valuable tool, but may not know where to start or how to apply it to their business. This book bridges the gap between the technology and its use in high-value marketing applications. Not only are the techniques of data mining explained (in ways accessible to mere mortals, not just PhD statisticians), Chorianopoulos and Tsiptsis guide marketers in banking, retail, and telecommunications through the steps of assembling the right data, analyzing it to identify actionable segments, and using this insight to drive successful marketing activities.

The book is packed with guidance and tips that will “jump start” marketing applications – a great benefit to any company looking to move its marketing to the next level.”

A holistic customer behaviour & attitude analysis to support decision makers. It is the `Bible' for marketers who need to build a deeper insight and plan accordingly their actions per customer segment, building profitable customer relationships. I truly recommend using it in your business.
